Partake was created and is run by Denise Woodard, a Black and Korean American woman. Denise and the Partake team stand in solidarity with the AAPI community and together to stop Asian hate.

Denise started Partake so that her child and people like her living with food allergies would feel included and given an opportunity to enjoy a variety of foods—just like those without food allergies and dietary restrictions.

Through the growth of Partake, Denise realized that, "Partake has the ability to extend that mission of inclusivity and opportunity to many who are underrepresented. That's why we lift as we climb. And we speak up and give back when we see inequality."

As we explore ways to support the APPI community, Partake will donate donating 10% of all proceeds on partakefoods.com to AAPI Women Lead. In addition, we've been researching Asian-owned businesses and organizations to support.
